I’ve begun the writing process for a book based around my brother’s backyard market garden. He has been able to produce hundreds of pounds of food for not only his family, but also several other families, and all with 2 hours of work time. He accomplished this task by engineering a garden space that was conducive to modern technology, and sustainable growing methods. The book will be focused on providing usable engineering methods for novice and expert growers, to increase yields while reducing the manual labor invested. I am currently in the process of researching the volume, and hope to have it released in Spring 2014. Stay tuned… — JR

This year, I have been given the opportunity to work on several […]
